Hello guys,
I bought a 69 Bee with a RB Hemi a year ago and been working out the bugs. Beautiful car but some of the things done will make you shake your head so now I question EVERYTHING. Since I am a Chevelle guy some of this is foreign to me coming over to MOPAR. Car was built in 2014, had less than 500 miles on it, never aligned etc. Engine built in 2009. Last year I took the car to Barton to have the carbs redone, installed, and thrown on the hub dyno just to get the car running. A starting point for me. Ray looked at the engine and said “hmmm it looks like the engine is not sitting the way it should”. As if it was sitting to high in the rear. Car has a cast iron scatter shield and a 833 behind it. Out back is a 8 3/4 rear. Seems like the transmission crossmember is an aftermarket item. So what I am asking is how do I check that everything is at the proper angles. I also question fitment because the scatter shield is extremely close to hitting the pinch weld on the top side of the transmission tunnel. Picture attached and thanks in advance Scott.
